About our external mastic in Durrington
Movement joints let brickwork, render and cladding expand and shrink without cracking. The sealant in it has to stretch and squeeze for years, and when it fails, the wall takes the strain and water finds a way in. We work on façade panels, copings & trims and brickwork movement joints, and common reasons people get in touch are plants rooting in failed movement joints and rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint.
In and around Durrington, older properties sit alongside newer ones, each with its own outside joints. Older gutters and trims need their joints resealed; newer brick and render need their movement joints kept sound.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Durrington and across West Sussex.

Why act early in Durrington
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint, rather than the wall around it. In a smaller place like Durrington, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
Have a quick look at the joints each spring. Watch for splits, edges coming away or growth in the joint.
If you can see gaps, plants or bare sections in a joint, have it checked. Earlier resealing means a smaller job and a better result.
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What affects the cost of external mastic
You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- Access and height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any mould that needs treating
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The type of property
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The rough size of the job
We do not publish a price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
If you manage several properties in or around Durrington, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Façade panels
- Concrete & block
- Render & cladding joints
- Copings & trims
- Brickwork movement joints
- Joints between brick and frames
Outside joints around Durrington
Durrington is within about 3 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Historic houses like Ecclesden Manor (about 2.6 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Durrington has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Letting a property close to Durrington-On-Sea station? Then outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. Homes close to St Symphorian's Church include some older properties, and the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. If you look after a building such as Durrington Junior School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. For a job in Durrington, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Durrington questions
Will you come out to Durrington?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is external mastic in a coastal place like Durrington any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Can you seal joints between render and window frames?
Yes. Materials like render, brick, metal and uPVC all move differently, so a flexible sealant is needed where they meet. The sealant is matched to both sides.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
How do you reach high-level joints?
It depends on the building. We work on joints that can be reached safely. Give us some details and we will confirm the access.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
